(No, I'm not going to begin with the fact that this career politician is now a gung-ho war hawk even though he cowardly hid from combat duty when eligible to fight during the Vietnam War.)

Instead, let's start with this other fact: Rohrabacher is a sad joke even on his home turf. Brazen, self-serving lies and even more shameless self promotion decorate his political career. This is, after all, a plump fellow who calls himself the "surfin' congressman" but can only ride already spent 10-inch waves on a--not kidding--boogie board built for a child.

Point: Rohrabacher is an accomplished two-faced weasel. He didn't want to enter Afghanistan to improve the situation. He want the international stage for himself in an election year.

As you would expect from the drive by mainstream, clueless media, CNN's Wolf Blitzer absurdly treated the congressman like an honorable, international statesman, but look for yourself at the delight in Rohrabacher's face that he got on national TV to complain:

R. Scott Moxley’s award-winning investigative journalism has touched nerves for two decades. An angry congressman threatened to break Moxley’s knee caps. A dirty sheriff promised his critical reporting was irrelevant and then landed in prison. Corporate crooks won’t take his calls. Murderous gangsters mad-dogged him in court. The U.S. House of Representatives debated his work. Pusillanimous cops have left hostile messages using fake names. Federal prosecutors credited his stories for the arrest of a doctor who sold fake medicine to dying patients. And a frantic state legislator literally caught sleeping with lobbyists sprinted down state capital hallways to evade his questions in Sacramento. Moxley has won Journalist of the Year honors at the Los Angeles Press Club and been named Distinguished Journalist of the Year by the LA Society of Professional Journalists.
